Causes of Swim bladder disease

Causes of Swim bladder disease

  1. Flake foods or freeze-dried foods. Both of these expand in the fish's stomach and cause constipation.
  2. Overfeeding.
  3. Temperature too low, slowing down the fish's metabolism, and therefore, digestive system. The temperature should be kept stable, at 76 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Extremely sensitive fish may become constipated despite the best diets and conditions.
